Analysis of Development Cooperation with Shared Authoring Environment in Academic Setting

<p><strong>ABSTRACT </strong></p> <p>Team work is an important training element of future software engineers. However, the evaluation of the performance of collaboration among individuals is very subjective. Meanwhile, how to effectively promote the collaboration in an academic setting is an even more challenging task. The lack of a common standard or method for the assessment is a practical issue in software engineering projects. With the rapid development of shared authoring environments, such as Wiki, more and more educational institutions are studying the adaptability of such kind of collaborative platforms. In order to study the applicability of adopting wiki-based shared authoring environments in software engineering education, we have proposed three major research questions. By solving these problems, we try to answer some of the most important questions in adopting shared authoring platforms in academic settings. .</p> <p><strong>KEYWORDS </strong></p> <p>Shared authoring platform, collaboration evaluation, task tracing, quality control</p> <p><strong>For more </strong><strong>details :</strong><strong> <a href="http://airccse.org/journal/ijite/vol1.html">http://airccse.org/journal/ijite/vol1.html</a></strong></p

1,3-Dipolar Cycloaddition Reactions of Vinylidenecyclopropane-Diesters with Aromatic Diazomethanes Generated in Situ

1,3-Dipolar cycloaddition reactions of VDCP-diesters with aromatic diazomethanes generated in situ from the corresponding aromatic aldehydes and tosylhydrazine mediated by base produce pyrazole derivatives in good yields under mild conditions. A plausible reaction mechanism has been proposed on the basis of control experiments along with the discussion on the regioselectivity

Abnormal DNA methylation, an epigenetic modification, has increasingly been linked to the pathogenesis of many human cancers. However, there has been little focus on the DNA methylation patterns of genes encoding long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) in gastric cancer (GC). This study comprehensively determined DNA methylation and lncRNA expression profiles in GC through genome-wide analysis. Differentially methylated loci and lncRNAs were identified by integrating multi-omics data. In total, 548 differentially methylated CpG sites in lncRNA promoters and 2,399 differentially expressed lncRNAs were screened that were capable of distinguishing GC from normal tissues. Among them, 22 differentially methylation sites in 17 lncRNAs were inversely related to expression levels. Further analysis of DNA methylation status and gene expression level in GC revealed that three CpG sites (cg01550148, cg22497867, and cg20001829) and two lncRNAs (RP11-366F6.2 and RP5-881L22.5) were significantly associated with GC patient overall survival. Molecular function analysis showed that these abnormally methylated lncRNAs were mainly involved in transcriptional activator activity. Our study identified several lncRNAs regulated by aberrant DNA methylation that have clinical utility as novel prognostic biomarkers in GC. These findings help improve the understanding of methylated patterns of lncRNAs and further our knowledge of the role of epigenetics in cancer development.</p

Magnetically Responsive Superhydrophobic Surface: In Situ Reversible Switching of Water Droplet Wettability and Adhesion for Droplet Manipulation

A smart, magnetically responsive superhydrophobic surface was facilely prepared by combining spray coating and magnetic-field-directed self-assembly. The surface comprised a dense array of magnetorheological elastomer micropillars (MREMPs). Benefitting from the magnetic field-stiffening effect of the MREMPs, the surface exhibited reversible switching of the wettability and adhesion that was responsive to an on/off magnetic field. The wettability and adhesion properties of the surfaces with MREMPs were investigated under different magnetic fields. The results revealed that the adhesion force and sliding behaviors of these surfaces were strongly dependent on the intensity of the applied magnetic field and the mixing ratio of poly­(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS), iron particles, and solvent (in solution) used for preparation of the magnetically responsive superhydrophobic surfaces. The adhesion transition was attributed to the tunable mechanical properties of the MREMPs, which was easily controlled by an external magnetic field. It was also demonstrated that the magnetically responsive superhydrophobic surface can be used as a “mechanical hand” for no-loss liquid droplet transportation. This magnetically responsive superhydrophobic surface not only provides a novel interface for microfluidic control and droplet transportation, but also opens up new avenues for achieving smart liquid-repellent skin, programmable fluid collection and transport, and smart microfluidic devices
